My friends are blowing up facebook with the above article. They are extending their prayers to the survivors. Does it occur to them of these people may have said some unheard prayers before they got on this train? ARRGH!

It doesn't make sense to let go of something you've had for so long. But it also doesn't make sense to hold on when there's actually nothing there.

It also irks the sh!t out of me when people say "it could have been worse, it could have been on Monday with commuter crowds..." blah blah. I bet no one related to someone who was killed or seriously injured thinks it could have been worse.

They never, ever consider the opposite side of their belief system. Why would a loving god allow this in the first place? Seriously, if a church bus crashed and killed everyone except some random 2 year old, they call it a miracle. Unbelievably disgusting way of thinking if you ask me. The only explanation I can muster is that many believers simply have no other way to cope with the actual horror of an entire bus load of innocent people being killed in an accident. Now that I think about it, how can it ever be called an "accident" if YHWH had a role in any of the outcome?

"When we landed on the moon, that was the point where god should have come up and said 'hello'. Because if you invent some creatures, put them on the blue one and they make it to the grey one, you f**king turn up and say 'well done'."
